Books and Banter

Join us each month for an informal discussion of a recommended book. October's book is The Dry Grass of August by Anna Jean Mayhew.

In this Southern coming of age story set in 1954, young Jubie Watts leaves with her family on a vacation road trip from North Carolina to Florida. Crammed into the back seat with Jubie are her siblings and their black maid, Mary. Along the way, Jubie notices the anti-integration signs they pass, never imagining the tragic turn their trip will take.
